You will find barns in a lot of places across the south.

That's a fine barn you're all raising there-is it Amish?

I've brought you some cookies,anyway...

Somehow, only the Amish know how to raise a barn in a day with so many workers. I have read that no conventional American contractors can figure out how to do it. The organization it requires is truly amazing!

I think the tradition was for the entire community to get together, and actually build a barn for a particular family... Refered to as a "Barnraising".

It was a great time of fellowship...

What does that have to do with Baptists?

Remember, this is the Baptist/Anabaptist forum!

Since nobody else had started a "pub thread" and since pubs didn't seem very Baptist or Anabaptist to me, I chose a fellowship tradition that was distinctively Anabaptist. Hope you Baptists don't mind.

Y'all come!

Sure!

Do you have an ice cream freezer? What size?


Basic homemade ice cream contains cream, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla. The number of eggs, proportions of milk and cream, and amount of sugar are really a matter of taste. I made a very rich ice cream a couple of weeks ago with 1/2 gal. manufacturing cream, about 1 1/2 c. raw sugar, 4 eggs, about 2 T. vanilla, and milk to fill the freezer to the fill line (not much!). We served it with brownies, 2 or 3 kinds of berries and chocolate syrup.

Usually I don't make my ice cream that rich. Using a can of sweetened condensed milk and a couple of bananas, you don't have to add any additional sugar, and can make a good ice cream with a quart of half-and-half and regular milk to fill your bucket. I often put fruit in the ice cream.

Just a few ideas to get you started. Give us a taste when you try it!
